betsu ni (nothing in particular)

This toad lives in a little hole underneath the rose bush just outside my front door. This is actually only the second time I’ve seen him. Last time, he ran. This time, he stuck around and posed for the camera.

I poked him with a pen, and all he did was puff up a little. Following the second poke, he got pissed and left.

I guess I should’ve tipped him.

Normally, I think toads are ugly, but you actually did a good job capturing him in a still. Any progress on the baby birds front? Would love to see their progress.

They actually fledged a couple of days ago, so they’re off somewhere learning to fly and fend for themselves. Only one died this time around, thankfully.
